I wasn't sure about this fan at first, but it was dirt cheap so I figured I'd give it a shot. I've been very pleased thus far; my Wii used to be quite hot to the touch in WiiConnect24 mode, and now it's no warmer than I'd expect an electronic device in standby mode to be.
The fan runs reasonably quiet; it's certainly audible but I've heard worse. I haven't had a chance to test that the USB passthrough port works since there currently aren't any USB peripherals available for the Wii, but it's nice that they thought ahead and included it anyway.

My one gripe is the red LED, which is constantly on and is quite bright. It's not a deal-breaker, just an annoyance.

The Wii is still too new to really know whether temperature is a stability or reliability concern, but I don't aim to be the first victim of Wii overheating, especially when a solution exists for a measly two bucks. I'd recommend this to any Wii owner, especially one who lives in the middle of the desert like I do.

Edit: Roughly three weeks after receiving it, the fan died without warning. I guess you get what you pay for; can't say I should have expected different given the price. Buyer beware!

Fan was noisy and bulky. It got the job done but was too noisy to bother using. When in standby it would not turn off.

This USB cooling fan is O.K. It fits the Wii great and can run while the Wii is in standby mode. It seems to do an alright job of keeping the unit cool. However the fan is some-what loud and can clearly be heard even when I'm watching T.V. I would recommend only if you don't care about the constant fan sound (and red LED light).

I bought this cooling fan for my wii as it is very hot when I play a while. This cooling fan is perfectly fit for my wii and my wii is not hot now. I'm highly recmmened for the wii owner.

It's quiet. I read the other reviews about it is noisy, but not mine. Mine is so quiet.

This is a decent fan, It does its job. My only problem with the thing is that its alittle loud....But thats not really a problem. My friend has a expencive PS3 cooling fan that is JUST as loud.

Overall its a good fan for the cheapo price. And if it can extend life of your Wii...Its totally worth it!!

i got it in the mail and i was on the wii so it was hot i put it in and 1 min later it at normal temp works great and fast

Every time i play Wii i always use this product. My brother said it was a must and i HAD to get it!

NOt a game at all. This fan does not work. At least it is cheap.
